Day 12 - Reeth to Richmond

We wake to a sunny day and head to the local shop to buy some sandwiches to eat for lunch.  Then more easy walking down the Swaledale beside the river.


About midday the rain clouds roll in; but half an hour later they roll out again.


Today we get a short section through a forest, where we had the good fortune to see a grey squirrel.  Still no red squirrel sightings unfortunately.


We arrive at Richmond at 3:30pm - the earliest end to our day's walking to-date - and we have a rest day scheduled for tomorrow; very exciting and much needed!  Although the weather has been mostly fine today, Fiona still has soaking wet boots as the ground conditions under foot are still sodden from earlier rain.

Fact for the day - a few short sections of the Coast-to-Coast are carpetted

Distance walked today: 18km
